[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#1120170: bbmap autopkgtest uses insane amount of memory

Dear maintainer(s),

I looked at the results of the autopkgtest of your package because I was 
investigating memory issues on our ci.d.n infrastructure. I noticed that 
your package uses an insane amount of memory.

On our amd64 worker, I saw it peaking at 51% of 250 GB. On our loong64 
worker I saw it peaking at 83% of 127 GB. Now there's an argument to 
make that the infra should protect itself against this kind of 
misbehavior, but currently it doesn't (we're working on that). I would 
appreciate it if you limit the test on memory usage.

In the past I already added a reject list entry on riscv64 as the test 
times out. It also seems to take much more time on loong64 than on other 
architectures, so I'm also going to add it to the reject list for 
loong64 too. You don't need to investigate this as riscv64 has some 
under powered workers so I consider that an infrastructure problem and 
loong64 isn't a release architecture yet, but solutions for both 
architectures are welcome.

Paul
